The IEEE International Conference on Microelectronics (ICM) has been held in numerous countries across the Southern Europe, North Africa, and Western and Southern Asia for the past 28 years. The 29th edition of the conference will be hosted by Arts, Sciences & Technology University in Lebanon (AUL) at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Hamra, Beirut in December 2017. Several topics will be discussed such as Circuits and Systems, CAD Tools, Micro/Nano electronics and special emerging topics. It will include oral, poster sessions and tutorials given by experts in state-of-the-art topics. The regular technical program will run for three days. Moreover, tutorial sessions will be held on the first day of the conference.
